Belgium-based SEA-Invest group is planning to build a new tanker terminal at the port of Antwerp’s Delwaide dock, with an investment of €250m.

In the first phase, the tanker will have a storage capacity of 750,000m³ for refined products, with plans to add more capacity in the second phase.

During the two-year construction phase, the project is expected to create 500 jobs, and 50 new full-time equivalent jobs will be created once the project completes.

"Thanks to the huge interest in the port area we have been able to select projects that offer the highest added value."

Furthermore, SEA-Invest subsidiary SEA-Tank Terminal will build an additional tank capacity at Delwaide dock in order to serve its customer, Total.

To be built with an investment of €100m, the terminal, which was acquired from Independent Maritime Terminal (IMT), will be shifted from Antwerp port’s Hansa dock to Delwaide dock.

Antwerp Port Authority CEO Eddy Bruyninckx said: “Thanks to the huge interest in the port area we have been able to select projects that offer the highest added value for the port area as a whole.
